It was a sequel to Stein's earlier 1920 film On the Brink of Paradise. Béla Lugosi played a supporting role as a sheik. Erwin Baron, who wrote the screenplay, also played Omram in the film.[2]
Kara Ben Nemsi and his servant Haji Halef Omar join a group of Mohammedans on a pilgrimage to bury their dead. When a plague erupts, the two men become infected. Weakened by the disease, they must protect the caravan from traps set by the group's Kurdish enemies on their way to the holy site.
